An emergency code for floods
was issued,
the local authorities announced.
On this day 5 years ago,
at 8 p.m.
NATO started aggression against

During 78 days, the operation

which included 19 countries,
killed over 1000 people and
wounded a few thousands.
The infrastructure was heavily hit,
the damage was estimated

The Yugoslav government proclai ...
How long have we known
each other, Hans?
Long time...
That year my wife died...
Yeah...
When my son was bom
24 years.
Why are you in mourning?
Who died?
Godfather, look what I found!
Help me,

Milan died...
Who?

No way,
what are you talking about?!
An accident.
Hey, man... Let's go...
What's up
Gerry?
Come on...
Set down. Set.
Why are you here, Hans?
Why have you stopped
in this shitty village,
on this shitty river?
Wny?
A span'ow!
Fuck the bird!
'What are you doing?!
What's that?
What?
That on your coat.
The star...
I'm not blind...
Why don't you ditch it?
Wny?
You don't get anything.
You don't get anything...
Fuck your 1'lto!
If he were still alive
lorgovan,
have you ever crossed yourself?
No.
Maybe when I was a child...
Pe will come with you.
I thought the two of us might...
He asked me to go.
Justin case.
- Crossing to Romania?
- Yep.
- What's this?
- Good God... Take us with you!
We will pay!
C'mon, hurry! C'mon!
Stop!
Let's go!
Shoot!
Stop! Fuck you! Stop!
They could have killed us...
You idiot!
She ran to the Serbians,
to work as a whore,
in Romania she can't.
You know where I found her?
In a brothel!
- With the whores!
- They were dancers!
Whores!
She wouldn't come back,
I had to tie her...
My brother-in-law
gave me these handcuffs...
You fucked the Serbs?!
Man...
What is this sound?
The ghost church!
What ghost...
I hear a priest!
What's this?
Tum off the light!
Where is Lugojul de Jos?
Ardeal...
Transylvania...
Dracula!
And why...
Why weren't the Romanians
allowed to build their churches?
Yeah...
It was the law,
the Emperor in Vienna said so
The Romanians are Orthodox,
and the Austrians are Catholic.
How do you know German?
I worked in Germany,
in a bar
Fucking idiot...
What's taking so long?
I'm drying my bikini!
'What the fuck!
You can do without!
You are used to it!
Fucking dancers...
So, what happened...
with the church...
The peasants are headstrong,
when they want something, and crafty.
Dick?!
Yes, right!
They couldn't build a church,
so they bought one.
Wonderful...
'Wunderbar. . .
'What does it mean?
Tell us, you worked
in Germany...
And?
Wundelbar...
10 km away from their village
they found a wooden church.
They collected the money,
they bought it,
and in the spring of the year 1778
they began moving the church,
with the altar
and everything inside it,
to their village.
Nora, Nora...

He didn't even stop home.
He was afraid...
He shouldn't have done it...
He shouldn't...
He threw his gun into the Danube
and swore he would never
go back to Serbia.
In our last telehone conversation he said:
Dad, I want to many...
Who are you marrying

Romanian girls are beautiful

Romania was part of
Austria-Hungary back then.

One stormy winter night,
the cross on the spire
of the church
was hit by lightning,
but they decided not to replace it
with a new one until
they had moved the church
to the village.
They dragged the church
across hills and
through forests,
advancing very slowly.
They only advanced
a metre at a time.
When it was raining,
they couldn't move
the church at all.
They wanted to reach the river
when the winter set in,
so they would be able
to drag it
across the ice
when the river froze.
Yeah...
Then the waiting began...
'What is this?
WW don't you try it on?
Come on...
Like it?
Wny?
Come on...
Sit down over here.
Sit down.

shithole forever'?!
Come on, baby,

Let's go!
They are sending me
back to Romania!

After one starry,
ice-cold winter's night,
the church was frozen
on the river.
There was nothing they could do,
but wait until spring.
When the sun finally
shone again
and the ice began to melt,
everything was ready for them
to drag the church,
across to the other bank.
But that year so much water
came down from the mountains,
more than even the oldest
in the village had ever seen before.
The river burst its banks,
got wild,
and dragged the church away.
Nobody could stop it.
This is
Romania;
This isthe Cris,
which flows into the Tisa,
and the 1'lsa flows
into the Danube.
Years and years went by,
and everything was forgotten.
One day a stranger
turned up in the village
and said he'd seen
a oating church on the river.
Since then the church started
to turns up in the evenings,
across the whole of the Danube.
What talking?
Someone called it...
- About that church...
- The Ghost Church.
Are you going over?
Yes...
Who inside?
Milan!
Little motherfucker!
Again?
'What is this?
- What is he doing?
- I don't know.
